I've added Umbraco 4.0.2.1 to my Umbraco trials
site. There are 2 distributions, a clean install and one with
the latest version of Warren Buckley's CWS website starter package.

allows you to create a hosted installation of Umbraco in a single
click. There are no limitations on the install, you have full admin
access and can install packages as you wish. The trials expire
after a short period and are useful for showing someone Umbraco for
the first time or evaluating

My blog has been running Umbraco for 5 years and it needed a
little TLC. With origins in Umbraco 2.0.6 running on .NET 1.1 there
was a lot of clutter going on and templates with very strange names
like wordPressPostList.
So i've undertaken a little spring cleaning:
Upgraded to Umbraco 4.7
Set up auto tagging of posts using the awesome OpenCalais API
Rewritten search to use Umbraco Examine
Highlighted search results
Used Umbraco base AJAX to start suggesting results... examine to find similarly
categorised posts.
Search result highlighting is based upon the
techniques described over on the wiki at our.umbraco.org and
I've also put together an
Umbraco package which allows you to get examine search result

Umbraco when trying to acess the node where the responses are
stored in the GUI.
This post is just to advise against using this Macro on
production systems until I (or someone else) get the chance to
improve it.

reported in the next few weeks.
Before I give details on the product, a brief statement on the future of Umbraco Backup.
Recently I have undertaken a contract

been so good of late. As a result the only development on Umbraco backup will be bug fixes on issues reported by licensed users.
This position may change in the future.
Now for some details of Umbraco Backup 1.1. Sorry if my grammar isn't great, I'm in a hurry today....
Firstly, all of the new features are a result
